Bio

Bobby and Sid Steiner are the third and fourth generations of legendary rodeo producers Buck and his son Tommy of Steiner Rodeo Company. Bobby was born on November 27, 1951, and his son, Sid, was born on December 8, 1974, in Austin, Texas. Bobby competed as a bull rider and bareback rider from 1968 to 1973, qualifying for the NFR three years and becoming the 1973 RCA World Champion Bull Rider. Bobby then became part of Steiner Rodeo Company. Sid competed as a steer wrestler from 1995 to 2002, when he became the PRCA Steer Wrestling World Champion.  He got the nickname “Sid Rock” because he competed as such a distinct rebel in the spirit of showmanship.

 

He was constantly sought out by the media for his new twist on the cowboy legacy. His dad, Bobby, also had a knack for showmanship in his era and received the PBR Ring of Honor. They both presently ranch and are helping Sid’s young son, Rocker, become a bareback competitor and his daughter, Steely, a barrel racer. The duo owns the top-rated Steiner Steakhouse on Lake Travis and Vaqueros, a Mexican restaurant in Austin. Both continue to actively support rodeo and rodeo competitors in many ways.
